I'm not quite sure if this is a mythtv or a ivtv bug but...... There I was watching a previously recorded show, ff a bit and the mythtv frontend just hung, a look in the (mythtv frontend) log shows

IVTV_IOC_GET_TIMING: Input/output error ivtv rawframes descreased! did the decoder reset? IVTV_IOC_GET_TIMING: Input/output error ivtv rawframes descreased! did the decoder reset? There are no errors from dmesg A reboot later (killing the frontend and restarting it didn't work, it wouldn't even play 'live' TV) then play the same show and it does it again (with the same error). A quick google throws up this email: Roger wrote (07/01/2005) >The recent windy weather in the UK has meant that I have recorded a number of DVB-T streams with many errors.

Did anything come of this? Is there a fix in later versions? I've not updated to the latest release(s) as they seem mostly to be working towards getting the 150/500 working and as 0.3.2c works perfectly for me (for the pvr-350) I saw no reason in it. For reference I am using a Nova-T and PCR-350 in a Asus Pundit-R with ivtv 0.3.2 (c), kernel 2.6.11-rc2-bk3-20050125153357-default, mythtv 0.17 and linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1 on SuSE 9.1 FWIW a remote frontend plays with sign of anything going wrong.
